"Recognizing my Giftedness and Vocation in Life"
Canvass Of The Society
by: Joey Velasco
(I'm a bit disappointed with this one because I wasn't able to share it in front of my classmates. But it's better late than never, so I have decided to share this here)
Upon watching the documentary film, there are a lot of emotions felt throughout. It's just that how selfish I am thinking only for my own sake, what's best for me, what I want and so forth. Not knowing that there are still people who were like those street children and the less fortunate who are more in need than me. I really felt pity on them and to the society where I belong. That behind everything what I have lies different stories from inside. That despite of everything what I have I still longing for more, unlike them they just only want simple things. They just want to have three meals a day and as simple as that. Me,I admit I can't be contented sometimes for I'm still longing for me. But after watching the film, it's really a shame on myself for I can't satisfy myself. And how those kids struggle just to survive.
And just like Joey Velasco, on his giftedness on painting, I have been using my talents and skills as long as I can. But sometimes ,my shyness part really hinders me but as long as I can it will never hinder me from persuing my goals. That as early as now, now's the time to get out from our shells and let everyone be part of it. And to God be the Glory!
MOST STRIKING PART
Well, we do always have our most striking part. For me, the most striking part of the activity that I will never ever forget for the rest of my life was the last activity at night at the chapel where I sincerely talk to God and was able to listen to myself and even know myself better. It made me realize how important to be still and silent where you can listen to yourself and communicate with God. I even recognize even more what I have such as my talent, family, friends and all of God's creation. I did ponder on the things which I thought impossible to do. I even reconnect with God and was able to set all my worries and burdens after talking to him. And that I'm truly forever grateful with everyone around me and appreciate their presence together journeying with me, for the fist and the last time.
